Parashat Ki Tabo

King David said, “How great are Your works, Oh G-d!”While we should be proud of our accomplishments, we should realize how they pale before the majestic natural phenomena that are the handiwork of the Creator. We can marvel at a highly sophisticated computer or iPhone, which can bring the entire knowledge of the human race to our finger tips in a fraction of a second, however, the most efficient computer is nothing more than a primitive toy in comparison with the human brain. The brain is comprised of more than 14 billion units, all intrinsically connected, to convey multiple messages, simultaneously, to one another at unimaginable speeds. The brain also stores far more information than a warehouse full of computers. In fact, biologists have recently transferred an entire textbook and stored it in one strand of DNA, and reproduce the textbook solely from the information stored in that DNA. They calculated that the entire contents of every single bit of information that is found on the internet could be stored in DNA form and it would take up no more space than a persons thumb!

Indeed, how great are Your works
